As discussed in today's meeting, Paper Inc. 's Board of Directors has requested a set of pro-forma financial statements for the proposed acquisition of Scissor Company.
For the past several years Paper Inc's Executive Management Team hasreceived continued pressure from its investors for their lack of growth (markets share, revenue, and profits). On May 1, 2012 the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer all resigned under duress (pressured by Board of Directors to resign).
For the past twelve months, Paper Inc.'s Board of Directors and Executive Management Team had been in discussions with Scissor Company's Board of Directors about a possible merger (Paper Inc. acquiring 75% of Scissor Company). The Paper Inc.Board has determined that this acquisition would be in the best interest of its shareholders.
The Board has requested that the Accounting Department provide pro-forma financial statements (income statement, statement of retained earnings, and balance sheet) for the proposed consolidated company. In addition, the Board has asked for a detailed explanation on how the consolidation process works. They specifically requested a walk-through of the consolidation work paper.
Detailed Request:
1. Prepare a consolidated balance sheet (January 1, 2012) - assuming the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2012 (remember to provide work paper detail).
2. Prepare a pro-forma income statement, statement of retained earnings, and balance sheet (assuming the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2012) as of December 31, 2012 (remember to show work paper detail using the 3-section format). Apply the cost method.
3. Document all general ledger journal entries (REAL Entries) that would take place using the assumption above.

As of 1/1/12 the balance sheets for Paper Inc. (acquirer) and Scissor Company (acquired) immediately prior to the combination were as follows:
